Lino Russo forms the title of his photographic series ‘skymetric’ from two words:
‘sky’ and ‘geometric’.
The italian photographer has documented the architectural sites, structures and
pavilions presented at expo milan 2015, emphasizing the decontextualization
of places and spaces.
pavilions presented at expo milan 2015, emphasizing the decontextualization
of places and spaces.
Looking upwards towards the sky, russo snaps each building’s rooftop, corners,
windows and walls from fragmented vantage points and perspectives.
The resulting compositions reveal simple shapes, repetitive patterns, angular lines
and saturated colors as the primary interpreted elements.

SKYMETRIC
The word skymetric is a construction composed by: sky and -metric (geometric).The subject highlights the decontextualization of places and architectural spaces
in order to alter the natural structure. These places have in common the fact to be
all completely square, regular and schematic, so achieving geometric shots in a
minimalist context, where the simplicity and cleanliness reign supreme.
Another point in common is the sky, infact each shot shows with a light blue
background that decisively contrasts the brilliant colors of the architectures.
So this places will cease to exist, the vision that result, won’t be more accostable
to the original, it will recognize only systematic and organized compositions
and structures.
